The illustrations were by Duncan Smith. Due to the small number of references each paragraph receives an illustration to match. There were 18 full page illustrations and 5 minor repeated illustrations scattered throughout the text. Smith's illustrations were not used in the revised edition.

The black and white map was also by Duncan Smith. A similar but new map, presumably by Graham Bottley, was included in the revised edition.

Il Pozzo dei Desideri is a fan-written alternative of The Wishing Well and not just an Italian translation. The overall approach to this variation is based on having a common thread through all rooms and encounters, so that everything is ultimately connected.
